     +    
TOMATOES

Place the sliced tomatoes onto a wire rack, making sure that there is a little space in between each one, drizzle over the olive oil, seasoning, icing sugar and picked thyme. Then place into the oven at 90c for approx. 90 minutes, till they are semi dried out.

     +    
THE TART

Roll out to 0.4cm thickness to a rectangle shape, then allow to rest for an hour. Slice off the edges to make the edges nice and straight. Egg wash the edges and stick this trim back on top, pressing down, so the edges are neat. This should be approx. 20cm wide and 35cm in length. Place onto a double folded sheet of parchment paper, as you will lift this into the oven to cook later.

ASSEMBLY

Tomato sauce

The pastry case

Sliced slow roast tomatoes

Heavy tray in oven to pre-heat

Place the oven on 200c. Spread the tomato sauce all over the base of the pastry tart, then lay in all of the tomato slices, drizzle in a little olive oil and seasoning. Lift the tart onto the hot tray. This is to ensure the bottom cooks through properly. Cook for approx. 15 mins until the pastry is golden.
